Why 'crack!'?

A sound that evokes rupture gives life to CRACK, the bathroom module developed originally for the Trencadís space. The element emerges from a rectangle split in two: one section designed to host the sink module, the other to integrate the mirrored surface.
This controlled fracture becomes both a compositional principle and a functional system, unifying sink, towel holder, mirror, and wc, into a single unit. Here, rupture is not destruction but a generative gesture; an act from which a new spatial balance takes shape.

The module
Sink, towel holder, mirror and wc are read as one piece. The rectangle is split once, and everything the module has to do is arranged either side of that single cut.
